Avast, me hearties! Today be TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY! For those of ye scurvy landlubbers who didn’t know, any holiday, however small, is reason to celebrate at our house.
Cap’n JediBoy come down this mornin’ to find a treasure chest and some of his pirate toys strewn about the playroom. Indignently, the Cap’n asks: Who made this mess? A good mudder never fesses up, so I stay silent. Soon enough, the Cap’n raises his eyes. There’s a sign here! The Cap’n looks t’me and I growl, “Aye! Right enough, a sign! Looks like a clue t’me, Cap’n.”
The shine hasn’t yet left his eyes, maties. It took him near on 20 minutes t’find all the clues and come upon a right good treasure chest nestled in the yard. Arr! The best surprise of all had t’be the pirate costume the First Mate & I picked up at yonder Dollar Store last night. A vest, eyepatch, bandana and pants for a buck, that be a real feat. The Cap’n’s been wearin’ it all day.
He also was sweet on the pirate crafts I’d done picked up on clearance the summer last. A wooden boat t’paint and assemble, a wooden pirate magnet to color, and a few other things for, in most cases, a mere 30 pieces of copper each. A good deal I’d found, and made the Cap’n right happy too.
I hadn’ta been t’the grocery last night, so the planned bag o’ Pirates Booty was missin’. Never mind that, the Cap’n made plans to raid the local provisions stockade, and we went out in costume to retrieve our pirate snacks. We had such fun stalkin’ the seagulls in the parkin’ lot and scarin’ the poor landlubbers who weren’t expectin’ t’see a pirate out today.
Arr! We could only eat those right good pirate snacks while watchin’ our new pirate film: Muppet Treasure Island. The Cap’n and I laughed right out loud, we did.
The Cap’n’s gone out t’play in the sun. I’ll be back, me hearties, with photos of our day.
